Back to Alpha Lupi

UPDATE: I now have an [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/67824128/0/0]even newer thread[/url] about all of this! This one is inferior now, but not entirely useless. If you're a new comer, don't be afraid to read this first, then move on to my newer thread. [quote]1. The Path (Via) = The Moon 2. The Union (Conjunctio) = Mercury 3. The Ruin (Amissio) = Venus 4. The Tribulation (Fortuna Minor) = The Sun 5. The Rose (Rubeus) = Mars 6. The Ecstasy (Laetitia) = Jupiter 7. The Prison (Carcer) = Saturn[/quote] In my thread about geomantic symbols found in [url=https://twitter.com/MartyTheElder/status/350332759929135104/photo/1]this tweet[/url], we discovered that each of these planets are assigned to the following name thing. If we go back to Alpha Lupi's stories, we can find geomantic symbols once again. Here, I will link them in the order they are meant to be read, and I will give you the name of the 'planet' that they are assigned to, due to the geomantic symbols on each page. Also, look for those words at the top of this post. You will find some of those words used in the Alpha Lupi tales [url=http://alphalupi.bungie.net/98862748014.jpg]Moon[/url] ([b]The Path[/b] is set) [url=http://alphalupi.bungie.net/09394972304.jpg]Mars[/url] ([b]The Rose[/b] has blossomed) [url=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130214042822/destinypedia/images/8/89/590881739283143985.jpg]Mercury[/url] ([b]The Union[/b] between the past and the future is [i]now[/i]) [url=http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130215053415/destinypedia/images/9/96/1291670595463907.jpg]Jupiter[/url] (In [b]Ecstasy[/b] they search for you) [url=http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130215182151/destinypedia/images/d/d0/010258608004307500961392069234939781476.jpg]Venus[/url] (You see [b]Ruin[/b] emerging from where it has already been) [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130218191637/destinypedia/images/0/08/231500044149.jpg]Saturn[/url] (Icy little comets [b]Enslaved[/b] by a splendid master) {This is very similar to the term 'prison'} [url=http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130218193104/destinypedia/images/3/33/X99634869174.jpg]Sun[/url] Now, the last one is interesting because it does not seem to use the word "Tribulation", or anything similar to that word. However, it does use the word "Hope", which was a word that I did not use in my previous speculation thread. This may mean that I have gotten "The Tribulation" wrong, and that it never actually was connected to the Sun in any way, and that the Sun was in fact linked to "The Hope". [url=http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130218193256/destinypedia/images/a/af/Signal_received_full.jpg]Here is a compilation of all 7 images[/url] After reading through the Alpha Lupi stories again, I feel that it tells the story of humanity from the point of first discovering the Traveler, all the way to them running and hiding from whatever force wiped us out.

      I've seen numerous posts regarding the Vex being time traveling robots from the future. Since Mercury is referred to as being The Union between the past and the future, could that possibly be their home? This concept art also leads me to believe that. By the way, [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forum/Post?id=61192957]here[/url] is a post I made regarding Destiny and geomancy. Maybe you'll find it interesting since you know a lot about the Destiny lore. The two might be linked.

      • The background looks identical to the map we recently saw in The Devil's Lair, I'm assuming each point is a place we'll want to explore here in September.

        • My theory is, that if you look at the circle connecting the geomancy symbols it resembles the traveler. What if, the traveler is a combination of bits and peices of those planets, formed within Alpha Lupi. It then became self aware.

          [quote] After reading through the Alpha Lupi stories again, I feel that it tells the story of humanity from the point of first discovering the Traveler, all the way to them running and hiding from whatever force wiped us out.[/quote] Since Music of the Spheres has been described as a prequel soundtrack it definitely adds some credit to this theory, as well. Also, according to Jason Jones, it wasn't until the Traveler settled on Mars that humanity truly blossomed. So going back to the [url=http://imgur.com/FtYdYtt]Music of the Spheres[/url], what are your thoughts as to the order the tracks/movements fall?

          • You're right about the Sun representing "Hope". The "Tribulation" is Earth.

          • Fortuna Minor: Latin for "the Lesser Fortune". [b]The figure is symbolic of success coming down like beams of light from the Sun. Astrologically it is associated with Leo and the Sun in southern declinations[/b]; both its inner and outer elemental rulers are fire. [b]It indicates a weakly positive outcome in nearly all questions, representing transient success that is dependent upon outside help.[/b] It favors situations that can be resolved quickly and do not need to be sustained.[b] It is a figure of change and instability.[/b] Its planetary intelligence is Nakhiel and its spirit is Sorath; it is associated with the deities Apollo and Jupiter, and the angels Michael and Verchiel. It is associated with the spine. Sound Familiar?

          • Tribulation: A cause of great trouble or suffering. If the sun is hope, then it fits in well. You think that this is a story of the past, then hope would get us through a period of great tribulation, seeing as we did not have the power to get through it by force. Also, good post man. Keep it up.

            I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times before. What does the star named "Alpha Lupi" actually have to do with any of this? If Wikipedia is to be trusted it's a giant star located 550 ly from earth, and it's the biggest in the Lupus constellation. But I don't see how this ties in to any other information that we've been given... unless I missed something, which is very possible. P.S After reading through the small bits of text in those pictures, I'm getting the impression that they're about the Traveler, not sure why.

          • Really cool thread, I think some of these sound like they are from the point of view of the traveler, but it could also be from a human perspective. Overall really cool, good job.
